SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-30M 10 Gbps, 30 m

CBO SFP-AOC-10G-30M is an SFP+ active optical cable that delivers 10 Gbps data transfer over a 30 m OM fiber link. It provides a direct-connect solution between network devices with SFP+ ports, combining the compact form factor of SFP+ with the signal integrity and low electromagnetic interference of optical transmission. The cable is intended for environments that require reliable, low-latency links such as data center uplinks and server interconnects.

Advantages

The active optical construction ensures stable 10 Gbps throughput while minimizing crosstalk and electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. With a 30 m reach over OM fiber, the cable supports flexible rack-to-rack and equipment-to-equipment connections without additional transceivers. The SFP+ form factor simplifies installation and hot-swap replacement, and the integrated optics reduce power draw and cooling requirements compared with some discrete transceiver plus fiber assemblies.

Suitable for

• Data center uplinks between switches and aggregation devices
• Server-to-switch and server-to-server high-speed interconnects
• Top-of-rack to end-of-row connections within a single equipment room
• Anywhere SFP+ ports need a low-latency, EMI-resistant 10 Gbps link

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ plug-in form factor
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Maximum reach: 30 meters over multimode (OM) fiber
• Transmission medium: active optical cable with integrated transceivers
• Latency: low, suitable for high-throughput, low-latency applications
• Compatibility: designed for devices with SFP+ ports

How to use

Install the SFP+ module ends into the SFP+ ports of the two devices to be connected, ensuring each module is fully seated and locked. Verify both devices detect the link and negotiate 10 Gbps operation. No separate optical transceivers or fiber patch cords are required; the active optical cable provides the complete optical path. Monitor link status through device management interfaces and confirm proper duplex and speed settings as needed.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain, maintain multimode fiber cleanliness at insertion points, and avoid exposure to sources of mechanical damage or extreme temperatures. Use within the specified 30 m OM reach and verify compatibility with host devices' SFP+ port firmware if required.
